Because the rhombic triacontahedron, which consists of 30 identical rhombi, is a Catalan solid, it means that it has an inscribed sphere (aka insphere) which makes creating a world map easy: just render a gnomonic map for each face!

So I used #D3js to render 30 different gnomonic maps and quite a bit of trigonometric skills to assemble the final map as a polyhedral net.

I then printed it, cut and folded it, et voilà! I now have a nifty 30-sided globe! 🌍

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣2️⃣: 2 colors

As soon as I read this day’s theme, I knew I had to do the obvious next iteration of the map I did for last year’s “Black and white” theme¹, which is to render the Red and Yellow Seas in red 🟥 and yellow 🟨 and in the same scale!

I basically just used the process I did last year but used #D3js instead of #QGIS for rendering the map, but practically everything else is the same including using #NaturalEarth as my data source.

You can use reactive widgets to speed up your interactive visualization application development, while also facilitating re-usability.

It is also very useful for coordinating views, even if they are written using different libraries. Here's is a simple example synchronizing #vega-lite & #d3js

Hi, sfba.social! Allow me to #introduction myself.

I just moved here from pdx.social. I can’t be summed up in a single toot, but… I love #design, #architecture, #photography, #redwoods, the #California coast, #neurodiversity, and #inclusive systems. Oh, and #parenting my three brilliantly unique kids (the hardest work I’ve ever done) and really bad puns.

My life’s work is building Oolie, our family business and Certified #BCorp helping families sleep better with #organic bedding and baby products. I hope you’ll check us out.

In my former career, I was into online learning, creative coding, and data visualization, even publishing a couple of books. I still love that stuff (#DataVis #Processing #p5js #d3js #JavaScript), but that feels like 1M years ago.

Expect to see posts about everything mentioned above!

Big thanks to the SFBA @moderators for having me.

I made this to learn more about food seasonality and answer questions like…

🫑 Why are capsicums so expensive? How far did they travel to get here? Interstate? From overseas?!
🫐 When should I buy fresh blueberries vs frozen?
🍇 Grapes cost how much!? When can I start buying them again?
